You should really try to get one even if it's on your CC. This bag is especially good so far as the DDR, some of 1916's and 1920's, and various errors and still have more than 80% more to search!!

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 7:22 pm I agree that this one is worth saving in a 2x2. Nice pick-up!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74881 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 1:51 pm You're very welcome Mark! I can't get a bag right now at the moment, because I'm pretty broke at the moment. I don't have money left in the checking account. Next month, I'll get paid by SS and I'll buy a bag if they still have them available in stock. :-) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
